Should a user... - use su(1) or sudo to gain root privileges in such a way that his own environment is maintained, and - should that user have the variable USERNAME defined in his environment to point to his own username (not entirely unlikely), and - should the user install the Mailman port and immediately deinstall it, ... his own userid will be deleted by $PKGDEINSTALL. The short-term fix implemented here is to munge the names of the variables used by the port's Makefile. - Correctly list image directory in $PLIST, even if the user changes it from the default. - Add a WITH_APACHE2 knob and document it. - Bump PORTREVISION Submitted by: Volker Stolz (security issue) Revision Changes Path 1.28 +25 -17 ports/mail/mailman/Makefile 1.4 +7 -6 ports/mail/mailman/files/pkg-opts 1.12 +5 -6 ports/mail/mailman/pkg-plist To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
